First NBA.com Power Rankings

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I'd bet against us making the playoffs, sorry. The way I see it, the Lakers, Thunder, Spurs, Grizzlies, Blazers, and Mavs are all very safe bets to make the playoffs. That leaves 2 spots. Now it's hard to tell how good a lot of these teams in the West will be, but I see no legit reason to put the Jazz ahead of the Suns, Clippers, Hornets, Warriors, and maybe the Nuggets depending on if they get Nene back. That's six teams that are around the same level competing for the final two playoff spots, so chances are we won't be making it.

If the Jazz keep their team in tact, I'll predict that the Jazz finish above the Suns, Hornets, Warriors and probably the Clippers too, thereby taking the last playoff spot. It goes without saying that we'll finish ahead of the Wolves and the Sacramento Jimmerettes. We'll get the 11th and 16th pick in next year's draft and take Adonis Thomas/Patric Young and Myck Kabongo/Kendall Marshall.

Sorry to be the spoiler...

Edit: Actually, I have no idea who we'd take in the draft.

If we make the playoffs, we lose our pick to Minnesota.

...the only thing that kept the Jazz ahead of a lot of these teams was that we had more basketball brains than they did....despite our lack of athleticism. Well, now we have neither basketball brains nor athleticism. So we will be hard pressed to move much higher in those rankings.....unless the Jazz coaching staff can come up with something better than "puttin up....and then grabs the rebounds!"

Have you watched the Jazz at all last year? We are hoppers now and it's going to be glorious.
